Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

In celebrating their 25th anniversary, the West Bromwich Operatic Society Youtheatre has returned to its very first production.

Playing the Elvis lookalike Pharoah, with a wonderful range of hip shakes and hair preening, is Matthew Nicholas whose uncle, Jason, created the role for the company back in 1987.

The show is a
perfect choice for the outstanding band of youngsters who fill the stage with sparkling dancing to Lisa Metcalfe’s imaginative choreography.

There’s a great, confident performance from Maison Kelley in the lead role of Joseph.

The
three narrators, Anya Chalotra, Lucy Follows and Lydia Orme, link the action together splendidly and there is an amusing contribution from Frazer Shine, one of the brothers, particularly with the French accent in ‘Those Canaan Days’.
